Auto Express has the very first photos next generation M3 has it takes to public roads for the first time. We suspect that what we’re seeing here is a ‘franken-prototype’ in that it’s using the four door F30 3 Series as a test bed since the F32 coupe isn’t ready for even prototype purposes. As we’ve reported previously, M will not be offering an M3 sedan this go around due to poor sales of the current E90 M3. However we do expect a four door coupe to be offered at some point within the next generation M3′s life-cycle.

However unlike the 1 series coupe and convertible becoming the 2 series, we don’t expect the 3 series two doors to become the 4.
